Re: Trashing Oracle.

Make sure you remove all datafiles, controlfiles, redolog files,
archive logs after the shutdown.
It's good to clean out the registery as well.

oradim80 -delete -sid xxx (To delete the sid xxx)

I presume you are running on a pentium CPU. The memory should be
fine.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to double check with you guys - I am going to be trashing
my NT
4, 8.0.4 test instance once I have managed to download the 8.1.6 zip
from
technet over my 31,200 bps line!! Yeah - 6 years later..

Anyway, I am going to totally wipe Oracle and start over a again, and
just
wanted to check on how to wipe completely -

Shut down the instance

oradim80 to delete all of the services (what is the command by the
way?)

Delete the Oracle directory

Delete all mention of Oracle in my registry.

Is this the right way to do it? Should I do anything else? Also is
there
anything that I should watch out for with 8.1.6 on NT 4 sp6? I only
have
128mb RAM on my NT box, will that do for an empty instance? The only
reason
it is there is to test tools against.. Do I need to worry about
anything
else?
